A Letter from ColecoVision • ColecoVision News • What's New • Best Sellers • Feedback • Strategy Tips • Videogame Quiz • PLUS: Pull-out ZAXXON wall poster Condition "Very Good" -- page-complete, unmarked, and untorn.Despite being the "collector's issue" (their words, not mine), this one turns up far more frequently than the other issues in existence.Here's your chance to obtain the first issue of Coleco's ColecoVision™ EXPERIENCE magazine, a serial publication delivered by subscription to V.I.P.s (Very Important Players) of the ColecoVision Video Club. Although members were entitled to a one-year subscription, only three issues (setting aside the Summer 1983 "draft" that morphed into the Fall 1983 issue) were produced under the EXPERIENCE masthead. Six dollars went a long way in 1982. The pictures attached to this listing are of the actual item being sold and should well illustrate any cosmetic flaws present. Pardon the suboptimal qualities of the photos--I am not a steady shot with the camera, and lens flaring or errant shadowing may also be evident, as the packaging remains wrapped in its original cellophane.I would describe this item as falling within range of very good cosmetic condition. Although there is a fair amount of creasing along the staple-bound spine, only the reverse cover displays a few scattered, lesser creases. Shelfwear is also at a minimum, again confined largely to the reverse. The interior pages are free from staining, marking, tears, or other severe wear, with only light soiling to the exteriors of the full-color poster pullout, which is still stapled in place, though on the verge of coming undone. The staples appear to be free from rust, in case that matters. Please note that the sticker label affixed on page 15 of the magazine was applied by Coleco to cover-up a misprinting, although the included errata card indicates that this is not the only printing error to be uncovered within the pages of the premeire issue. Also note that one small bit of ephemera (the cardstock ColecoVision Video Club sign-up insert) has pulled free from the binding and gone missing. Sorry. Rest assured that it will be properly packaged to preserve its current condition as it travels from my doorstep to yours.Free insured domestic shipping; trackable international shipping at cost, less estimated expense of domestic shipment for comparable packaging. Please note that this shipping credit is not reflected in the amounts generated by eBay's shipping calculator. If a more accurate figure is desired, please ask for one. Domestic bidders who wish to select an extraordinary means of shipment (e.g., expedited) are responsible for the difference in cost between the method I would have chosen and that requested prior to auction closing.Please do not hesitate to contact me directly should you require additional details or in the event any of the above is unclear.I just noticed one errant line in the above de... read more
